For awhile now, IFC Midnight has been pushing out quality horror films that entertain a variety of different subgenres, and I’m a huge fan of what they’re doing. They’ve already released two amazing horror stories this year, so I couldn’t wait to check out I Trapped the Devil, especially after …

Author of Flowers In A Dumpster, Mark Allen Gunnells released his third book with Crystal Lake Publishing this week. Book Haven and Other Curiosities is a collection of 21 short stories that are sure to provoke a variety of emotions. As an avid fan of horror, I’ve been on the …

I’ve been seeing praise for the indie horror comedy, Clickbait, for awhile now. I initially missed the award-winning pop culture satire, directed by Michael J. Epstein (The Obliteration of Chickens 2019 – read our review here) and Sophia Cacciola (Blood of the Tribades 2016 – read our review here), from …

On April 1, 1973. the most bizarre and macabre event in all of Brooklyn’s modern history occurred. Twelve people inside a reputed house of prostitution and an illegal abortion clinic were killed. Only one occupant survived. When found by police, she told a tale so fantastic and horrific, she was …

Most children can’t yet process the realities of death, evil, and change. However, the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark book trilogy helped them bridge these gaps, and a new documentary on their legacy is lively, exhaustive, and dare I say, definitive. Director Cody Meirick’s Scary Stories is smart …

“It’s just a book. No harm ever came from reading a book.” Rachel Weisz’s charming naivety about a book from 1999’s The Mummy has been disproven countless times throughout horror history. Can we even scratch the surface of all the awful atrocities unleashed by evil books over the years? The aforementioned …

I knew absolutely nothing about Tom Paton’s (Pandorica 2016) new sci fi/horror hybrid, Black Site, going in. It had some really great poster art that any VHS box would be proud to wear, and that alone makes it eye-catching. What I ended up getting, however, was a great film that …

Sometimes, it seems like your life is going nowhere. Sometimes, it seems like what you really want is too far away for you to reach. Sometimes, we’re filled with more wishes than fulfillment. We could all use a Happy Ending.  Synopsis: When Amanda (Mariam Hernández: 6 Points About Emma 2011), …
